I have a EOS Rebel Ti film camera which I used for business years ago, 3 lenses, wide angle to

Hi jonesy!

Thanks for the post.

All EOS cameras, both 35mm and film, have the Canon EF lens mount.  Any of our EOS Digital SLR cameras will work with the same lenses you were using with your EOS Rebel Ti.

The reference to "all EOS cameras, both 35mm and film" is sure to confuse some people, especially if this is the first time they've heard of a full-frame Rebel. And as most owners of digital Rebels are aware, not all EOS cameras have the EF lens mount, which does not accept EF-S lenses.

So I'd put it this way:

"All EOS film cameras have the Canon EF lens mount. Since all of our EOS digital cameras can accept lenses disigned for the EF mount, the lenses you were using on your EOS Rebel Ti will work on any EOS digital camera."

I suspect Mike meant to write "digital and film" rather than "35mm and film".  

But the bottom line is accurate.  The lenses that the original poster is asking about are Canon EOS "EF" lenses and those lens can be used on any other Canon EOS camera (the specific type or model of the EOS camera doesn't matter... Canon EF lenses work on all EOS bodies.)  EF-S lenses are not as universal, but the original poster doesn't have EF-S lenses -- so no need to worry about that.

I presume not, since then the sentence wouldn't be true. Not all EOS digital cameras have the EF mount. Possibly he meant to just leave out the "and".

Yeah, that's why I didn't mention EF-S in my rewrite of Mike's answer.

All EOS mounts accept EF lenses.  Not all of them accept EF-S lenses.  The mounting flange is actually the same.  But cameras with APS-C sensors (the 10D was an exception) are recessed a bit more inside the mounting flange to provide clearance for the rear-most element on the EF-S lenses (which has a shorter back-focus distance and the slightly protrudes beyond the mounting ring.)  Full-frame cameras are not recessed -- and the lack of clearance does not allow the EF-S lense to be "seated" on the mounting flange.

Thanks for your replies to my question about my 35mm film Canon EOS Rebel Ti.  It is good to know I can buy just the body for a digital EOS and continue to use the EF lenses.
